Recovery

Laid down in a bed

recovering slowly.

Pain dulled

worst I've ever felt.

Doc coming in

checking up.

"How are you

doing Bella?

Breathing well?

Any pain?"

"Yes Doc I am

quite fine

though my curiosity

is off the charts

Why wouldn't

I have survived?"

"Your lung was punctured

unconscious you already were

I had to stitch it back up.

Almost lost you twice

a lot of blood you lost too.

Thankfully your body replenished

no need for transfusions but

another scar is added to your

collection."

Was I hearing him right?

Lung punctured?

Almost died twice?

No wonder my pain

was so extreme

"Who else knows

Doc?

I'd like not to worry

my friends."

"You and I now.

Your boyfriend refused to leave

but I kicked him out anyway.

Brody's suspicions are high

figured something's

gone wrong

I suggest telling

or his mind may not rest."

My head slowly wrapped around

this new knowledge

"Am I free to leave Doc?

I wish not to stare at these

walls much longer

work calls me."

"Not so fast!

You're off work

for a couple of days.

Doctors orders

2 muffins a day

for 4 days.

Then you may

return

until then

no work!

I've talked to Petra

The horses are fine."

Nodding,

"Understood doc

no work

2 muffins a day

I owe you one

for saving my life."

Smiling I got up

grunting in pain a little

"Take it easy Bella

and I'm only doing my job."

He smiled back

and bid me a good day.

Walking through the streets

of BG, I breathed in the air

finally able to be out

smile present

glad I was to be alive.
